the next part here in the s sierras, five to six feet of snow. great for skiers, horrible as it's turned into a parkle lot on some of their highways. it'll cross over and here's where it gets interesting. earl yi i says, gees, oh, pete i got it a good old midwestern -- eastern oklahoma, some are over a foot of snow on christmas eve and christmas day. then you look into and that's mostly christmas day but watch this a. as it moves, wednesday, ice up in the new england rain here and it exits thursday into friday but that's when all the people are traveling. we will keep an eye on it and more on the nation's weather coming up. >> i know you're excited about the weather when you say geez oh

pete. it translates roughly into wow. >> that's it. >> learning about my midwest vernacular. on to the shopping front. we are genuinely down to the wire. two days left and this question, where is the best place to shop? rachel smith is in the front lines joining us with advice. good morning to you. >> reporter: oh, yes, on the front lines indeed, dan, good morning, everyone. it's the final stretch, two days until christmas. if you're a last-minute shopper of course, you know you're not alone, a reported 40% of americans are still checking off items on their christmas list. ♪ the clock is ticking. >> we have a lot of time. >> reporter: some, a bit in denial. most scrambling. including these little ones. there are still many options, panicking, not one of them. option number one, hit up a local small business. they may be more convenient and could turn out to be your secret

weapon. >> a customer said did you got this, i wrapped it. she was on her way. >> reporter: option two, large chain stores. this late in the game they may just save the day with round the clock hours and seemingly endless inventory. what are the benefits of going to a store like toys "r" us. >> you get everything. everything is in there. all the toys you could possibly want. >> reporter: the biggest benefits last-minute price slashing. >> they have discounts because they don't want to get stuck with this excess inventory. >> reporter: to get this on the latest deals 'em withshowing apps, i compare prices, right to your phone. >> shopkick will send you coupons when you approach the store. >> reporter: if you've reached your limit, hit the web, a gift card, e-book or online subscription is always the safe bet. if all else fails, if.

>> the whole i left my gift at home and wait until december 26th and go shopping. >> reporter: okay, so that's not exactly in the spirit of christmas, although the very best deals are the days after christmas. but perhaps that's shopping better left for yourself. >> rachel, news you can use and ron is writing down some of those websites, as well. thanks, rachel. while americans are buying their gifts there are some real-life grinches coming up with creative ways to steal them. unfortunately for them they're being caught on the tape and watched by millions. here's abc's mark greenblatt. >> security cameras in houston solved the missing mystery of the ipad mini. the fedex guy delivering it just in time. here comes the grinch dressed in brown. he delivers his own package only to come back and take that ipad mini for himself. >> i was shocked and i said, oh,

my god, it's the u.p.s. guy. i thought this is exactly like the grinch. >> u.p.s. replaced the ipad and fired the driver. but not until the video went on the internet. >> i didn't hear from anybody till 8:30 the next morning. u.p.s. security here in houston and they said we saw your video on youtube. >> oklahoma city, a team of grinches worked together casing this house. they break down the door and once inside the unthinkable. head right to the christmas tree and began unwrapping presents before knock knocking the tree over on their way out. when a little girl came home with her family, christmas was gone. in texas, the troubling trend of thefts continues. jennifer very laz's christmas gifts are dropped off then a black dodge charger pulls up and out comes this woman who helps herself with the presents. >> that blows my mind. >> show goes back for the big

package too but can't fit it in her car and adjusts her seat in broad daylight to make room for the gift. the guy who had his ipad mini stolen he's convinced he never would have received another one if he had not installed security cameras to prove what happened. police recommend using electronic tracking services now if you're expecting an expensive gift and these days you can get alerted right on your phone the minute one of these things arrives. >> overnight headlines with ron "feliz navidad." >> blatt, that's his nickname. new evidence that south korea says reveals north korea's true intentions behind its rocket launches, the scientist investigating debris say they found evidence suggesting military purposes as well as technological dies with iran. the rocket launched a satellite into orbit but experts say it was a test for a missile that

just extend the tax cuts for everyone earning under $250,000. it should be a lot of protection for a lot of people but even that will be difficult. you get it only if there's a promise not to filibuster that in the senate and the house speaker agrees to take it up. both of those questions are very open right now. >> a lot of open questions and high establishes for a lot of people. let me ask you about another big issue in washington right now. in this toxic environment any chance that the president can make any headway on his desire to change the laws around guns? >> it's another big question. you saw what happened on friday. the nra, the national rifle association, came up with their first response to the newtown tragedy and there shouldn't be any new gun control. you heard wayne lapierre, only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and prominent nra members came out

like senator joe manchin and limiting magazine clips. i believe something will come out. the key is speed and that's why the president has asked vice president biden to come back with his recommendations before the end of january. >> the trick is given how partisan things are, will that happen? all right, george, merry christmas, great to he have you. and be sure to join george when his guests include asa hutchinson, the head of the nra national school shield program. >> big show for george this morning. moving on now while it's not as dire as the whole fiscal cliff situation, a lot are upset at the game show "wheel of fortune." it has to do with this contestant. she guessed the right words but she was told she lost anyway. abc's john muller is on the story. >> reporter: good morning, dan. this is the game show version of football fan, outrage over a referee's blown call and wheel of fortune fans saying the judges blew it big time. we hear from the woman robbed

southerners,. >> if you start to swing thele song it's seven swans a swimin'. >> do you know what happened there? >> no. >> definitely spun the tone of the show and the moments that i thought i had and i lost it and then it wound up costing me the show. >> well, the judges may be grinches, they didn't steal her christmas spirit. even if she sings it seven swans a swimin'. >> i had an absolute amazing experience. what kind of internet footprint i have. >> such a whirlwind i feel like i should be out, you know, whipping off a big hat. >> we reached out to the show's producers haven't received any response. other game shows have made controversial rulings before and invited guests back on. who knows. there's a lot hoping renee gets a do-over. >> myself included. she was robbed.

>> nice lady. i agree. >> all right, john, thank you. time for weather and over to ginger. >> the other part of that big storm i didn't get to talk about was the severe weather. on christmas day you could have isolated tornadoes and damaging winds here along the gulf. that's something i wanted to note. speaking of the gulf and all the way down into florida, brrr, is it cold this morning. look at some of the plants there in florida being protected because of the freeze warnings that were on from yesterday through today and we're already seeing that again this morning. it's 40, orlando, 29, jacksonville. all that pink would continue freeze warnings. warmer for a few days. new storm that sweeps through cold air again. speaking of cold, sunny cold from the dakotas through minute, 12, chicago, 23. that's the big picture. let's get a check a little closer to home.
